Title:
  desktop-exec crashes when using gir bindings to launch a non-existant
  app

Status in “upstart-app-launch” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I use the gir bindings for libUAL like so:

  from gi.repository import UpstartAppLaunch

  UpstartAppLaunch.start_application('sadfsdf')

  The 'start_application' method returns True, and the crash attached to
  this bug occurs. Ideally, start_application (and
  start_applicaiton_test) should return False if the application cannot
  be started.
